Found this From NJW on another post - unfortunately I don't know how to create a link so Copy and Paste Only I'm Afraid: Hi, I've not posted before but gained a lot of tips from the forum and having replaced the LED indicator in the door mirror of my facelift 2007 W211 just last week am...

Thanks Alps, not too painful pricewise,,, my challenge is that I cannot figure out how to remove the cover,,, it pivots on the base on the facelift 08 model rather than hinging from the side like my 55 model, can't find a thread here that shows how it comes off.

Hi, Interestingly when my car was recovered after a breakdown recently by my mobilife cover, I was surprised that they supplied me with a brand new e200 avantgarde from enterprise car rental. I was told by the Branch that this was on instruction from MB The rental rate appeared to be an...

Hi, I have the facelift w211 on an 08 plate. Somebody has run into my door mirror today breaking the lens on the led indicator repeater. I can find details on how to repair this on the pre-facelift model but there is no obvious way to slide off the cover. Is it a case of removing the mirror...

PIAA platinum whites work really well with the xenons in the 211. not sure if there is an equivalent replacement for the main beam & fog lamp bulbs - to be honest never really looked at mainbeam upgrades as it always seems like daylight out there at night. Think my fogs must be badly adjusted as...

can't get to them in the new e estate as they run in the headlining and down the tailgate hinge, both fog and reverse are in the tailgate - didn't need reverse as only towing trailer & no second socket

interesting threads..... thanks for the advice in Dublin MB 240, unfortunately although I fly over here I am now mercedesless as it basques in heathrow longterm carpark. Forgot to add that the Nokia phonekit packed up - they said that it was the software level of my phone although unlikely as it...

Ok John I stand corrected, Known as the E Klasse T Modell (S211) learn something new everyday!!

Fitted a brinkmatic Mirage to my w211.... spoke with the dealer and he said 'make sure you follow the driving instructions when towing uphill' instructions say "just change down the tiptronic to keep the revs above 22002 , keeps the atf circulating and avoids overheating the tourque...

John, supplying dealer is no problem, i have know the sales manager for more than 20years, its the quality of components that seems to be the problem - the Dublin dealer just didn't care frankly......interesting, thought the estate was a w211?? you have yours listed as an S211 do i have my...

I used T Cut carplan metalic to remove scuff marks from my yes 'silver' paintwork after some git drove into it in a carpark..... why doesn't Parktronic emit a smelly black dye like a skunk when people who can't drive come too close..... should this be an MB option

I was informed by my dealer that it was a counter threshold. the design life of the SBC pump valves was set at an expectation of 250,000 brake activations. some early delivery German tax drivers had exceeded this level after two years. On inspecton of the pumps/valves after this volume of usage...

Need some advice really my car had a number of irritating problems, history sort of goes like this:- collected car from stuttgart in march under personal collection scheme - highly recommended returned car to dealer for PDI 5 days later on collection, one of the tailgate gas struts had...

Griffin 5, can't help you with specific fitting to your model, but can recommend Towsure. I have an aversion to anyone messing with my car... including Mercedes dealers - especially a particular Dublin dealer who trashed the interior. I have just fitted a Brinkmatic Mirage to my 04 w211 320CDI...

I know its a late response, but avoyager's question on 12/12 " - the one E class I know of was found to have engine coolant in the transmission oil (how does that happen?) which caused the gearbox to be knackered. on the 320CDI at least, the Gearbox is fitted with an ATF cooler the heat...
